Geometry has three building blocks: points, lines and planes.  Everything else in geometry will build off of these three blocks.

A point is a single location in space.  Wherever two lines intersect one another, that exact place where the lines intersect is known as a point.  Through any two points there is exactly one line.
A line is an indication of distance that continues indefinitely in two different directions and is always straight – it is never curved.
A plane is any flat surface such as a floor or a wall or a piece of paper.  The intersection of two planes creates a line.
